Colton Aoki
Born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, Colton Aoki brings a unique perspective to discussions of identity, desire, and community—one that honors tradition while embracing growth and change. As a queer man of mixed Japanese and Native Hawaiian ancestry, Colton is passionate about creating resources that center marginalized voices and experiences. His approach combines the Hawaiian values of kuleana (responsibility) and malama (care) with contemporary understandings of consent, power, and pleasure.
